Laurence in a few words
Enthousiast entrepreneur I Board member I Advisor I Mentor
Driven and enthusiastic professional with a strong passion for entrepreneurship and scaling entrepreneurial ventures, leveraging a unique blend of managerial expertise acquired during my successful path in global corporations (Citigroup, Engie, UCB) and honed through several impactful entrepreneurial ventures.
With a genuine commitment to fostering success and a personal approach, I am excited to bring my skills to new challenges and contribute meaningfully to the success of your organization. Let's create something extraordinary together.
Hereby some successful - and memorable - experiences:
Scaling strategy: Through structured workshops, I helped entrepreneurial ventures to articulate their scaling strategy & developed with the respective teams robust business plans for geographical expansion, product enhancement, innovation implementation. These plans were discussed, finetuned and approved at board level.
KPI definition for measurable success: I collaborated with cross-functional teams to define key performance indicators that align with organizational objectives. By setting clear metrics and tracking progress, we ensured a clear focus on success & continuous improvement.
Crafting compelling investor pitches to accompany capital raises for ambitious ventures. Collaborating closely with founders and board, I bring their vision to life, highlighting their unique value proposition, market potential, and growth trajectory. As a result, several scale-ups have successfully secured crucial funding, paving the way for their success.
Mentoring founding teams/boards for scaling: Through personalized coaching, I helped founders and board members navigate uncertainties, manage rapid growth, and cultivate a strong organizational culture. Witnessing their growth and evolution and their companies flourish brings a great sense of accomplishment to my professional journey.
